Dementia

Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Summary

Hospitalizations for nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) often lead to distressing experiences, with rare palliative or hospice care referrals. Patients and families need pre-admission information about the hospital journey and available support services.

Area of Science:

  • Geriatrics
  • Neurology
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Hospital admissions for nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are common, costly, and associated with poor outcomes.
  • Patients with ADRD are at higher risk for adverse events during hospitalization compared to other patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively describe the in-hospital experience of nursing home residents with ADRD.
  • To identify common interventions and outcomes during hospitalization for this vulnerable population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 10,195 hospitalizations for nursing home residents with ADRD.
  • Data extracted from electronic health records within a single health system (Ohio and Florida) from January 2013 to July 2023.
  • Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient characteristics, hospital interventions, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The median age was 84 years, with 61% female and 71% White patients. Median length of stay was 5 days.
  • High rates of interventions were observed, including 69% requiring a sitter, 34% a Foley catheter, and 51% receiving neuropsychiatric medications. Delirium affected 21%, and 4% died.
  • Intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurred in nearly 20% of patients, with higher rates of interventions and adverse events. Referrals to palliative care (5%), geriatrics (2.4%), and hospice (1.1%) were infrequent.

Conclusions:

  • Hospital admissions for nursing home residents with ADRD are associated with significant distress and frequent interventions.
  • Most patients lacked do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders, and palliative or hospice care consultations were rare, indicating a potential gap in end-of-life care planning.
  • Informing patients and families about the hospital experience and offering appropriate supportive care services are crucial for improving care quality.
